⛓️ ETHEREUM CLASSIC $ETC – What is it really?
It was born in 2016 after the hack of "The DAO" on Ethereum, where ~3.6M ETH was stolen. The community split: some reversed the transaction (today Ethereum), others argued that "code is law" and kept the original chain unchanged—that’s ETC.
⚙️ Philosophy: Absolute immutability of the history, Proof-of-Work mining (unlike ETH, which moved to PoS) and radical decentralization, reflected in its 2016 Crypto-Decentralist Manifesto.
🛡️ Technology: Hard forks (Atlantis, Agharta, Phoenix) that made it compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem, plus the MESS protocol, designed specifically to protect the network from 51% attack attempts—a real risk it has already suffered.
🌐 Integrations: Interoperability with Cardano, IPFS and Filecoin.
